In today`s episode, we are joined by Dr. Howard Fuller. He talks about how he is approaching his work from an equity perspective, removing personal agenda from the equation, and the importance of leadership and community involvement in achieving equity.
Dr. Fuller also shares his thoughts on how to create more inclusive environments, what he sees as the future of equity work, and why it is so important to continue the fight for equity regardless of the challenges. This is an episode that equity-minded individuals will not want to miss.
Highlights:
03:12 - The pressure on people is unlike anything that I have ever seen in my life. You have teachers who walk and they just quit. They literally can't do it. You have kids who have gone through things that are even hard to describe.
13:40 - If we are not clear on what's actually happening, the solutions that we come up with will not be solutions that address the fundamental problem. It will address the manifestations of the problem but not the problem itself.
24:37 - You’ve got to figure out what am I trying to get out of my life, what do I want my life to represent?
34:06 - If the black community is going to get beyond where it is it's going to get there because of the strength of the institutions that we can build and what gives me hope is that we have people who understand that.
